....is a function of the properties of the fluid(s) passing through it.

Good question, especially if you're the same "Guest" as the OP.

The maximum energy is when the rotor breaks out of the turbine housing. You can't get a higher output than that!

Size of tubine (sq.m) X transformer size x cable diameter / # of outlets being used.

This will give an aprox. size.

In a nutshell it:

equals (maximum energy input x turbine efficiency at maximum energy input) - (friction losses) - ( shaft driven output losses [i.e. oil pumps, governor systems etc.] ) - transmission losses at shaft output.

Based on the question it's the best I can do for an answer.
